   \u201cIn loving memory of our mother, Mrs. Nancy B. Cary, who departed this life, May 23, 1927.
We cherish the memory of mother,
And tears oft unbidden start
When we think of the day she left us.
Bereft, and burdened at heart.
No one takes the place of a mother
So patient, forbearing, and true;
In striving to comfort each other
We\u2019re thinking dear mother of you.

\u201c\u2018She hath done what she could,\u2019 can truly be said of \u2018Champe\u2019 Cosby, who suddenly went to rest early Easter morning, in about her 50th year.

Her kindly and loving nature fitted her for her chosen work\u2014a nurse of children\u2014and at an early age she was engaged as such. For thirteen years she faithfully served the family of Mr. W. G. Farish, and when she died she was employed by the family of Mr. J. B. Wood, where she had been serving most satisfactorily for more than nineteen years. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon.
   \u201cIf \u2018Champe\u2019s\u2019 example were followed by her race, the race question would soon be solved satisfactorily to white and colored.
